For her inaugural Met, creative director Olivier Rousteing concocted a gown made from three types of sand, mixed with micro crystal studs. Not only did the star have to be physically lifted up the Met steps, but Rousteing even took a pair of scissors to it, transforming it into a mini dress so that Tyla could move more freely later in the night. view more + 6/8 6/8 Getty2024 Grammy Awards in VersaceTyla made history again at this year’s Grammys, taking home the first ever award for Best African Music Performance for her song, Water.

Among them, former Dazed cover star and South African sensation Tyla made her EMA debut, scooping up three awards and making history as the first African artist to win three times in one night. Of course, being Tyla, she made history in style – paying tribute to not one, but two legends: the late, great Roberto Cavalli, and Aaliyah, who wore an almost identical gown to the VMAs in 2000. For her EMA debut, Tyla turned to the Cavalli archives to pull a blue version of Aaliyah’s iconic zebra-print look. It’s not the first time the amapiano pop star has pulled from the archives. In fact, since rocketing into the public eye with the success of her viral single “Water” in 2023, she’s become a regular contender for best dressed on most carpets. In the gallery above, we take a look back at some of her best red carpet moments from the past two years. Getty
